I do not understand tears...

[ChloeU]

Hello,

 

I am a 15-years-old girl seeking help on the topic of tears. Unlike most of my peers, I never cried over physical pain, not even breakages of bones. When my best friend left my school, I was really upset and I wanted to cry badly, yet I could not. Despite not crying over physical pain and unable to cry even when I want to, I still burst into tears whenever I am in a fight with my father. Every time I try to shout at him, tears fall out of my eyes helplessly, preventing me from delivering my words clearly. When I am in a fight with my father, I always try to hold my tears back, yet I could not.

 

I do not understand why I do not cry over physical pain.

I do not know why I cannot cry over something I am very overwhelmingly upset by.

Moreover, I have no idea why I still cry in a fight with my father, despite trying not to. I mean, the words do not even hurt me.

 

I am very sorry about my troublesome post and it will be greatly appreciated if you could help, or just give me a reply.

 

Thank you very much,

Chloe

I'm not sure I understand the point of your question. Tears are the bodies physical way of reacting to emotion. Your conditions for tears and not abnormal.

You just have different responses for physical pain and emotional pain. You cry from emotional pain but not from physical pain.
